DENVER—Gov. Bill Ritter has ordered that U.S. and Colorado flags be lowered on public buildings Saturday in honor of a soldier from Arvada who was killed in Iraq.
Twenty-nine-year-old Sgt. Kenneth Mayne died Sept. 4 in Baghdad after his vehicle came across a bomb. The explosion also killed 22-year-old Pfc. Bryan R. Thomas of Battle Creek, Mich.
Both were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Hood, Texas.
Mayne grew up in Arvada, where his mother and stepfather still live. He graduated from Arvada West High School in 1997.
His funeral is set for Saturday at Fort Logan National Cemetery.
